Thanks to everyone for the deposit! :thumbsup
So I have 28 deposits out of 44 right now which is about 2/3 of the deposits. I need those deposits by tomorrow morning as this is when the production starts. If the final number is at 30, I won't order as many sets which mean, the price is not the same and I will have to adjust by a couple bucks (dont' worry, it's not much). My padding was calculated with about 5 sets, not 16. I also reiterate that the price for those who didn't pay shipping will be higher starting tomorrow.
I'm sending another round of PMs to everyone that didn't pay deposit right now.

Looks like we're still short 13 deposit. That means that I'll remove 10 sets from my order tomorrow. I'll talk to the machinist and see what he can do price wise.
On a good note though, the shop programmed the first knob before leaving tonight and did the first one. When I arrive tomorrow, I'll inspect it and if all is well, we'll do the next 49! Can't wait to show you guys!

That piece looks a lot like one I got from Ken T's (Elvis Trooper) shop many years ago.
I just used it a few months ago for the end piece on my nieces Rey staff.

That middle part could totally be the same valve used on the ROTJ Vader stunt!

Re: Han in Carbonite (HIC) Machined knobs for hero panel (collab. with kurtyboy)
Yep .. it might be it but it looks like we never could find the exact same model (dimensions, thickness, etc..) so we used those dimensions and created our own
BY wear, if you mean will it come with the screws, yeah, you guys will receive all the hardware that we see on screen.
Basically, 7 machined parts, 2 screws and nuts and 9 rivet/nipples for knob 1.
While I'm at it, we were not able to finish all the parts .. it looks like doing over 300 machined parts take more than a few hours So work continues tomorrow and I'll go pickup the current progress tomorrow night.
Know 1 base, the one with the rivets, won't be done tomorrow as they need to mount it on another machine, so that will be done monday. Small delay but it will give me some time to order the shipping material! I have to evaluate if it's better and cheaper for you guys to ship in a small box or a padded envelop.
Stay tuned!

Honestly, this is the shortest delay I've ever experienced on a parts run, so no complaints here! Nice work so far!
